Yeah, thanks for the heads up on that Jay - much appreciated. I went ahead and ordered one, and its nice to see we can preorder them online and not have to worry about it at Comic-Con or wherever. I wouldn't have minded getting more, but for that price one will have to do.

I think they put that in there to attract the same people who buy up the Issue #1 of a new Comic Book series - you know, the people who think the "first one" of a line will be worth more. After all, they had this line in the SWShop "Covert Ops Clone Trooper" pre-order:

"Debuts a new line of troopers being released by Hasbro in the coming months"

And I don't think that one went anywhere since it's 8 months later and there hasn't been another word about it...

Ah, I didn't recall the initial line from the previous trooper. That helps, but the cynic in me expects they'll start ramping this up and keep it going for as long as they can. I like the 501st trooper and love the black stormtrooper but my enthusiasm may be tempered for future releases.
